The Seahawks unveiled new uniforms at the team’s new stadium, the first significant uniform change in the team’s 26-year history. In a weeklong contest, a total of 64,513 fans voted with an overwhelming 49,447 (76.6%) voting for the new Seahawks blue helmet. The traditional silver helmet received 15,066 (23.4%) votes. (Marked the first time in NFL history that a team allowed fans to choose any part of the teams’ uniform ensemble.)
